I love Goat Cheese. Really any and all goat cheeses rock my world! It’s creaminess, it’s the fact that it’s cheese, it’s from a goat (such cuties), it’s easy to use, it’s versatile and it’s healthy. All around a win-win situation!

I almost called these bruschettas and I actually had to go figure out what’s the difference between a bruschetta and a crostini….don’t laugh at me. I can’t pretend to know everything, but the internet is a marvelous place filled with an infinite amount of useless info….I mean really who truly cares if it’s a crostini or a bruschetta? (Don’t send me hate mail…it’s just my view of it!) The world won’t end because I called something a crostini versus a bruschetta…well I sure as heck hope not!

If you want to know more about the differences between a crostini and a bruschetta you can go here or here

it’s a crostini…it’s a bruschetta….nope crostini…

Let’s get to the recipe shall we…..(because after my research it’s quite OK for me to call it a crostini….just sayin’)

In a medium bowl combine your goat cheese with your fresh herbs, add a touch of salt and pepper to taste. Transfer to a serving bowl. Keep in your fridge until ready to serve.

For the Nectarines:

Heat your grill. Drizzle a little olive oil and a sprinkle of salt on your nectarines and onion slices. Grill your nectarines and onion slices on all sides. Keep an eye on this so you don’t have burnt pieces…which would result in bitter pieces! Let cool slightly. Roughly chop and put in a bowl. Add your fresh herbs, a drizzle of olive oil, salt and pepper. You are done! Keep in fridge until ready to serve.

To serve:

I like to keep it simple and put the goat cheese, nectarines and bread on the table and let people help themselves but you could be nice and make it for them…your choice! Bottom line: piece of grilled bread, a good schmear of goat cheese and a nice dollop of grilled nectarines makes for an amazing bite!

the perfect bite!

Note: you can substitute any fresh herbs you like, I would only suggest if you change it for the goat cheese then go ahead and change the same one for the nectarines…just to carry the flavor through.

Another note: you could easily use peaches for this dish. I am a lover of nectarines so that is usually my go-to. But I know it would still be super delicious with peaches!
